  1. 6. Sagittal synostosis - surgical outcomes and long-term follow up

    Författare :Sara Fischer; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; sagittal synostosis; craniofacial surgery; spring-assisted surgery; intracranial volume; cephalic index;

    Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis was to evaluate and compare surgical outcomes in patients with sagittal synostosis operated with the most commonly used surgical methods in Sweden: craniotomy combined with springs, pi-plasty, or H-craniectomy. Paper I is a systematic review that identified the evidence showing that spring-assisted surgery is as efficient as more extensive cranioplasties to be of very low quality, thereby emphasizing the need for more rigorous studies.

  3. 7. Intracranial Compliance and Secondary Brain Damage. Experimental and Clinical Studies in Traumatic Head Injury

    Författare :Konstantin Salci; Per Enblad; Pelle Nilsson; Peter Hutchinsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Neurosciences; Traumatic brain injury; Intracranial compliance; Secondary insults; Microdialysis; Neurointensive care; Neurovetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : Traumatic brain injury (TBI) renders the brain more vulnerable to secondary insults. The increased vulnerability can probably be explained by a combination of disturbances in hemodynamics, metabolism and craniospinal dynamics. Reduced ability to compensate for added intracranial volume, i.e. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Intracranial Arachnoid Cysts. Epidemiology, Morphology and Surgical Outcome

    Författare :Katrin Rabiei; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Arachnoid cysts; Cyst morphology; Epidemiology; Headache; Surgical outcome;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Intracranial arachnoid cysts (AC) are malformations of the arachnoid membrane. They may cause symptoms, either by obstruction of the CSF flow or by compression of adjacent neural tissues. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Pediatric caudal anesthesia with reference to spread and intracranial effects

    Författare :Paul Castillo; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Caudal anesthesia is, since 1933, the most common regional anesthetic technique used in children and has hitherto been described as a safe and straightforward method. Recent research has shown that a high-dose (1. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Subarachnoid Hemorrhage in the Elderly

    Författare :Mats Ryttlefors; Per Enblad; Kristina Cesarini; David Mendelow; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; subarachnoid hemorrhage; intracranial aneurysm; elderly; outcome; endovascular coiling; neurosurgical clipping; secondary insult; cerebral vasospasm; Neurosurgery; Neurokirurgi;

    Sammanfattning : Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a disease with high risk of mortality and morbidity. Elderly patients have an even higher risk of poor outcome. The incidence of SAH increases with age and the elderly constitute a substantial and increasing proportion of the population. Thus, the management of elderly SAH patients is an imminent clinical challenge. LÄS MER
